    Casting a ritual circle for someone else

    I would like to know if I (as a celestial caster) could cast a Circle of Power spell with a formal caster standing inside with me that would allow them to then perform a celestial formal ritual. For instance Lumi and Aneira the celestial scholars stand inside a circle phys rep and Lumi casts...

    Market Value, its Math, and My thoughts... open discussion

    I agree in a way with both John and Keith here. No matter what you set prices at, people are only going to pay what they feel something is worth, and if the price is a predetermined OOG construct that people feel is too high, it is quite likely that that people IG simply won't buy it (IE...

    Market Value, its Math, and My thoughts... open discussion

    The problem I see with set prices being double production cost is that the value of certain craftable items does not always match their production cost. Let's look at purify for instance. It's a great potion no doubt. However at 8 silver a pop there are very few instances where I would rather...

    New Acarthia Merchants Guild

    I think we have sidetracked the thread too much at this point discussing economics, crafting skills rules and such and should try to bring it back to the topic at hand and the purpose of the thread. I think we need to try and answer the following questions. 1. What is the purpose of the...

    New Acarthia Merchants Guild

    The problem with crafting skills supporting the economy is unless the rules start to do more to favor craft skills, it's never going to be a worthwhile build sink. I have 12 build sunk into blacksmith, not as much as Radulfr by any stretch but I see it as a significant build expenditure. This...

    New Acarthia Merchants Guild

    Yes I agree that goblin stamps are competition for the merchant's guild, but I also think that things come up in game where you aren't going to be able to use goblin stamps to get what you need, like when that acid bug dissolves your long sword on Friday night. The problem is that most of the...

    New Acarthia Merchants Guild

    Back on the topic of the merchant's guild I have a question. What is the OOP purpose of the merchant's guild? Obviously IP the purpose is for merchants to find a place to sell their wares and make money, but the merchants who sell items at the merchants guild are not PC's. They definitely serve...

    New Acarthia Merchants Guild

    I think one thing people don't realize is just how rich adventurers are compared to everyone else. The average commoner probably only makes a few copper a day. A 3 room house in this world only costs about 15 gold. If you took all the money that was in the loot sack from last event before...

    New Acarthia Merchants Guild

    To be fair what we had to deal with in Bayside (didn't have anybody ask for money for bartering a transaction in the tavern in Death's Isles that I know of) was just plain fleecing adventurers who happened to be in town and had a lot of money. We came in and lifted the siege from the sahaugin...

    New Acarthia Merchants Guild

    In regards to the merchant guild selling a magic item, the problem I see is people will literally be beating down the door of the merchant's guild waiting for it to open and then fighting to buy the item if it is a set price. I suppose the merchant's guild could sell it via some sort of silent...

    Posted to the Mages and Healers Guilds of New Acarthia

    What in the world was that guy shouting about? Anyway they did use an earth formal scroll and exclusively earth magic to try to remove Alis' mark and it didn't work, at least according to Squire Wolsey. Got any more of them cupcakes?

    August 415 Favorite Moments, Deadlines, Feedback, & IBGAs!

    Before the event ever started talking strategy and tactics for dealing with Pike when he returned to his bottle with Kendrick, and continuing on with that discussion into the beginning of the evening on Friday. We ended up being overly paranoid, but still I think things went off exactly as we...

    Loot sack!

    In case we needed another reason to hate bugs, they aren't very profitable.

    Loot sack!

    I think that's the case with a lot of people, that they do not NPC for the gobs or IP rewards, but people play the game for different reasons. Some think NPC'ing is fun, others find it a chore. Some people care a whole lot about loot, others care nothing about it. There is no right or wrong way...

    Loot sack!

    Being in charge of loot sack, I think Mike is primarily concerned about making it as fair as possible for everyone involved both in and out of play, and he saw something that could potentially be seen as unfair and decided to bring it up for discussion, which seems reasonable to me. IC you are...

    Loot sack!

    Okay. So first off, I did not hear anyone from any group complaining that they did not get loot because they were NPC'ing. We all knew going into it that we wouldn't get a share of loot split if our PC's weren't there and we chose to NPC because we want to help the game and it is fun to NPC. So...

    Coming to see all my friends in New Acarthia

    If you are still looking for a place to stay Lola we have an extra bunk in Warchester's cabin. It won't be warded because it's in the area where our Biata and Barbarians sleep but it will be locked.

    Loot sack!

    I would suggest caution when putting your tips too close to Rivervale's sacks, you might get more thanks than you bargained for.

    Dossier: Pike and His Forces

    We have also seen Pike's forces turn living forces fighting against him into undead once they have been killed. A quick refresher on how this works. If you bleed out or someone executes a killing blow on you, you are now dead and a target for the create undead spell. As we all know, after you...
